The MAIE Party (Associative Movement Italians Abroad) is a fresh, new political movement, rather than a party.
They are breaking with the existing, ineffective political system that has blistered the political scene with corruption and never ending chaos.
They believe in the future of Italy and uniting Italians living abroad. Their agenda is modest, moderate and focused on the needs of Italians living abroad.
Being an independent movement, will allow their and the MAIE group to effectively take on the interest of Italians and Italian-Americans living abroad.
